The last few days have been a blur of nothingness filled with moments of huge impact.
The margins on the melanoma they removed were clear, which means they got all of that and can sew my face back up.
Unfortunately one of the lymph nodes tested positive, so tomorrow I go back in for my second surgery in 8 days.
This time the will removed the remaining nodes, as well as the salivary gland on the right side of my face.
Maybe that will be it. Maybe I'll be done.
But maybe I won't.
That's the fun of cancer. It can never come back and you still get to live the rest of your life wondering if every cramp, itch, phantom pain, headache, or bump means that it's back.
